Anti-Harassment Policy

NTRPGCon seeks to provide a welcoming, fun, and safe gaming community. We do not tolerate harassment in any form. Discriminatory language and imagery (including sexual) is not appropriate for any venue, including the forums. NTRPGCon staff have both the power and the duty to investigate all reported incidents of harassment and to remove confirmed harassers from NTRPGCon venues both physical and virtual.

1. Initial IncidentIf you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please first consider informing the offender that the speech or behavior is problematic and that you would like them to stop. Oftentimes, the offending behavior is unintentional, and the accidental offender and offended will resolve the incident by ceasing the behavior and/or apologizing. If you believe that bringing up the incident with the offender will have negative professional consequences for you or will only lead to further offenses, then please inform a staff member about the incident.2. EscalationIf the offender insists that he/she did not offend, or if the offender continues the harassment after being asked to stop, then you will need a third party to step in. Find a staff member and let them know about the incident.3. InvestigationNTRPGCon staff are obligated to investigate thoroughly any reported incidents of harassment, seeking private accounts of the incident from all concerned parties.
